Parvibaculum hydrocarboniclasticum explained

Parvibaculum hydrocarboniclasticum is an aerobic bacterium species from the genus of Parvibaculum which has been isolated from hydrothermal fluids from the East Pacific Rise in the Pacific Ocean.^{[1] [2] [3]} Parvibaculum hydrocarboniclasticum can use n-alkanes like octane, dodecane and hexadecane as a sole source for carbon and energy.^{[3] [1]}
